It looks like my previous answer to this did't make its way to the list.
Posting again...
Works well with this javascript. Sorry for the french content...
/* Déclancher un submit depuis un lien */
function submitForm(aFormName, aSubmitValue) {
var vForm = document.forms[aFormName];
if (vForm == null) {
alert("La page ne contient pas de formulaire nommé '" + aFormName +
"'");
}
var vElement = vForm.elements["submitValue"];
if (vElement == null) {
alert("Le formulaire '" + aFormName + "' ne contient pas le champs
'submitValue'");
}
else {
vElement.value = aSubmitValue;
return vForm.submit();
}
}
In your jsp, this link will set the dispatch value in the form and submit
it...
<a href="javascript:submitForm('MyForm', 'MyDispatch');">Click here to
submit</a>
NOTE: Your form MUST have a hidden field named "submitValue" (or "dispatch"
or whatever...just be in sync with the script)
